Ten Bangladeshi nationals were kidnapped and a drug dealer reported two officers for trying to extort him.
National police commissioner Khehla Sitole has released a statement detailing the arrest of various police officers. Five officers were arrested for their involvement in two separate cases, the one involving human trafficking and kidnapping charges and the other extortion.
“SAPS National Crime Intelligence worked tirelessly with investigators on this case and identified four Silverton Flying Squad constables that are alleged to have kidnapped the victims. A warrant for the arrest of each of the suspects was obtained earlier this week,” the statement says. The statement continues to say that two Mamelodi officers were also arrested last night on allegations of extortion.
Sitole expressed his disappointment about the illegal activities the officers have been implicated in.
